Is this Hadith authentic?
When Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Abbas (radiyallahu ‘anhuma) began turning blind, he was advised to have it treated. However the treatment required him to leave out Salah for a few days. He refused saying that Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:
“Whoever omits his Salah will meet Allah Ta’ala in such a condition that Allah Ta’ala will be angry with him.”
Answer:
Imam Bazzar and Tabarani (rahimahumallah) have recorded this narration. ‘Allamah Mundhiri and Hafiz Sakhawi (rahimahumallah) have declared the chain sound (hasan).

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
